God Emperor - Chapter 1650
Chapter 1650: Unstoppable Picking
“I’ll give you one million, five hundred thousand saint stones.”
The woman with pointy ears wanted the Heartmoon Saint Fruit very much, so she shouted a high price again.
…
Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to sell the Heartmoon Saint Fruit now, as he could sell it at a much higher price in the saint shops outside.
However, seeing how all the monks gazed at him passionately, he didn’t know what to do.
The eight-armed spider king saw the impasse Zhang Ruochen was facing. He stepped out and said, “Please, everyone, calm down. This is a saint fruit that can help half-step saint kings and saint kings improve their cultivation. Have you seen anyone selling them before?”
And then, the eight-armed spider king said to Zhang Ruochen, “It’s impossible to buy a treasure like the Heartmoon Saint Fruit in the saint shops no matter how many saint stones you have. If you want to maximize its value, you’d better exchange it for another treasure that can’t be purchased.”
“You mean like barter?” said Zhang Ruochen.
“That’s right.”
The eight-armed spider king knew that Zhang Ruochen wasn’t well informed about the God-Naming Platform Conference, so he said, “There’re ten yards in the God-Naming Platform Conference. One of the yards is for trades, and it’ll open at midnight. You can go trade your Heartmoon Saint Fruit for other kinds of saint fruits.”
Zhang Ruochen took notes, and he said to the monks around him, “Sorry, everyone. I won’t sell this Heartmoon Saint Fruit to you guys now. If you really want it, please go to the trading yard with other saint fruits.”
They all knew that it was very difficult to buy the Heartmoon Saint Fruit with saint stones, so they didn’t keep pushing Zhang Ruochen.
Just as they were about to leave, a man wearing golden-threaded saint armor came to the saint pond.
There was a golden thorn on the man’s head. There were powerful ripples coming out of him, and his blood Qi was so dense that all the monks felt intimidated.
A great being. At least a third-step saint king who can fight those with higher cultivation, Zhang Ruochen thought.
The snake creature looked shocked. “Gold-armored Guard. He’s a Golden-armored Guard of the crown prince from the Dizu Divine Dynasty.”
“Did Dizu Crown Prince come here?”
“Not possible. Dizu Crown Prince is always followed by a huge group of monks.”
That young man was pleased to see the Gold-armored Guard. She walked toward him and asked, “Why’re you the only one here, North Guard? Where’s my senior brother?”
The Golden-armored Guard greeted the young woman and said, “Crown Prince is using his Divine Red Ruler to get Kirin Absolute Complete Fruit, so he doesn’t have time to come here.”
The young man looked extremely disappointed and complained, “Doesn’t he know that I can become a saint king after taking the Heartmoon Saint Fruit? Heartmoon Saint Fruit is very important to me.”
“Heartmoon Saint Fruit is nothing compared to Kirin Absolute Complete Fruit. His Highness asked me to tell you, princess, that when the Free Trade Yard opens tonight, he’ll bring you a saint fruit to improve your cultivation,” said the Golden-armored Guard coldly.
…
The eight-armed spider king sneered in the distance. “No wonder she’s so arrogant and looks down upon all the other monks. She’s a princess from Dizu Divine Dynasty.”
Zhang Ruochen had read enough books to know something about Dizu Divine Dynasty, which was one of the top three divine dynasties from Huangdao Large Field, which was one of the top hundred large fields in the universe.
Even Thousand Pistil wasn’t ranked the top hundred.
A princess from Dizu Divine Dynasty indeed had a solid background.
Zhang Ruochen asked the eight-armed spider king, “What is Kirin Absolute Complete Fruit? What’s so special about it?”
The eight-armed spider king’s eyes gleamed and he said, “It’s definitely amazing. I heard that the fruit can help make a talent with supreme complete body constitution, and monks with supreme complete body constitution who eat it will obtain God’s Destiny.”
“A fruit can help make supreme complete body constitution?” Zhang Ruochen was thrilled.
Although monks with sub-complete body constitution were rare, there were always some in each large field.
Gods could help some monks refine sub-complete body constitution using their godly power, and monks with great luck who gained the inheritance from paramount supreme saints, like Mu Lingxi, could also refine sub-complete body constitution.
As for monks with complete body constitution, the number was much lower.
As for monks with supreme complete body constitution, they were so rare that some large fields didn’t even have one.
Which was why Zhang Ruochen was surprised.
The eight-armed spider king smiled. “It isn’t that easy, of course. The monk’s body constitution must attain a certain level even with the Kiri Absolute Complete Fruit, and he must have the assistance from some special environment.”
“There’ll only be several Absolute Complete Fruits in each God-Naming Platform Conference, and there’ll be fierce competition for each one of them.”
“Let’s not think about such valuables. Only the top-tier great beings from the powerful fields have the power to fight for them. As for the others, they’ll only humiliate themselves.”
Zhang Ruochen looked to Mu Lingxi, as he wanted to get one for her.
Mu Lingxi knew what Zhang Ruochen wanted to do, so she said, “The better my body constitution is, the harder it’ll be for me to refine. It’ll be much harder for monks with supreme complete body constitution to become supreme saints. I don’t want that kind of body constitution to slow down my refining speed.”
Zhang Ruochen knew that Mu Lingxi said so because she didn’t want him to take risks.
It would be extremely hazardous to try to seize valuables from the great beings from the powerful fields.
The eight-armed spider king also tried to talk Zhang Ruochen out of it. “Kirin Absolute Complete Fruits have masculine characteristics, yet this girl is more feminine. It won’t help her refine Supreme Complete body constitution, and it’ll damage her body.”
Zhang Ruochen frowned. “It has something to do with body characteristics as well?”
“Of course. It isn’t that easy to get Supreme Complete Body Constitution,” said the eight-armed spider king.
Mu Lingxi smiled. “Hear that? The Kirin Absolute Complete Fruit isn’t useful even if you get it.”
Zhang Ruochen had to suppress that urge since it couldn’t help Mu Lingxi refine Supreme Complete Body Constitution.
The eight-armed spider king took off to look for other valuables.
Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi also walked off, and after several miles of walking, Zhang Ruochen turned into a different shape using Traceless 36 Changes.
He also took off his clothes.
Mu Lingxi looked at him and asked, “What’re you doing?”
“Wait for me here. I’ll pick a couple more Heartmoon Saint Fruits.”
Zhang Ruochen smiled at Mu Lingxi, performed body techniques, and went back to the shore of the saint pond.
Most of the creatures had left, and there were several more new faces looking at the white saint tree, thinking about ways to pick the Heartmoon Saint Fruits.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t mind them. He held the wooden jar in his hand and performed ‘Spatial Capture.’
Whoosh!
A branch on the white saint tree shook, and a Heartmoon Saint Fruit vanished, showing up in Zhang Ruochen’s wooden jar.
The second one… The third one…
Every time he picked a saint fruit, the space around the white saint tree would get denser, making it several times harder to pick the fruit.
After picking five Heartmoon Saint Fruits, Zhang Ruochen’s palm bounced back after he performed Spatial Capture again, and his fingers were in grave pain as if he had just hit an iron wall.
“Truth Godly Palace is indeed incredible. Even the space power can’t break it.”
Zhang Ruochen waved his fingers again, making a space crack.
That space crack was closed up by an invisible force as it flew toward the saint pond.
Zhang Ruochen looked confused, and he pushed his hands forward.
His palms were stopped by an invisible yet sticky power, and he couldn’t reach into the space above the saint pond, not to mention picking the Heartmoon Saint Fruit.
“The force is too strong for me to pick another one.”
Zhang Ruochen sighed as he was a bit disappointed. He left the saint pond with the five Heartmoon Saint Fruits he’d just picked and gathered with Mu Lingxi.
A female saint king from the human race suddenly yelled as she found out something strange about the white saint tree. “Look! There’re five less Heartmoon Saint Fruits on the tree!”
“How did that happen?”
“Did the monk pick them?”
“How is that possible? Nobody can pick five saint fruits of the same type.”
…
All the creatures on the shore rushed out, performing their body techniques, trying to look for Zhang Ruochen.
Meanwhile, Zhang Ruochen turned into a refined and bookish man, walking with Mu Lingxi, showing up at the bottom of a white bone slope more than twenty miles away.
The white bone slope was surrounded by gloomy mud.
There were some bones showing above the mud, giving out white saint light, and they were all saint bones. Some of the bones were releasing white flames.
There was a Ghost King Saint Tree on the slope, and there were more than twenty Ghost King Fruits on the blossoming tree.
There were dozens of powerful creatures standing around the white bone slope. They all wanted to get the fruit on the tree.
However, the white bone slope was very dangerous as several powerful saint kings had already been injured, sitting beside the slope with blood all over their bodies.
Zhang Ruochen observed the white bone slope for a while, and he left with Mu Lingxi after learning more about the slope.
After a while, Zhang Ruochen changed his appearance and came to the white bone slope, performing space skills and picking up four Ghost King Fruits. He left while everyone stared at him in shock.
It was way more difficult to pick Ghost King Fruits than Heartmoon Saint Fruits, so Zhang Ruochen only got four in the end.
In the next two hours, Zhang Ruochen picked seventeen kinds of saint fruits.
The creatures in the Outer South Yard all knew that a loner who practiced the space way had shown up. He was mysterious with incredible skills, and he could pick saint fruits as if they were his own.
The leaders of each large field speculated. “It must be a space manipulator. Ordinary space monks aren’t that powerful…”
